* Duty to God and country,

I’m an atheist, and I’m not a avid patriot, though I do routinely hold an American flag (or an Israeli one) at counter-demonstrations. That said, I need to ask, what exactly qualifies as a duty to God and country? And given that we are discussing the United States, which God inparticular? I mean, what about Americans who are Hindu and for the most part, care less for 4th of July celebrations? These can easily be construed as rhetorical questions, I know, but I think it bears pointing out that one size does not fit all.
